Chris Maclain: The Sadistic Host.

The Host of the show! Also one of three producers of the Total Drama Franchise.

Bad Boss: Though the producer is higher ranked than him. This comes to play during his downfall near the end of the story. It also seems to be false, as Chris is talking with the other two producers at the end of Letterama.

The Bus Came Back: He surprisingly returns in Total Drama Letterama's epilogue...though he doesn't become the host and is no longer as sadistic.

Heel–Face Turn: Seems to go through one, at least partially, in the epilogue of Total Drama Letterama. Too bad it seems to be a complete lie, if the meeting with the producers in the epilogue of Letterama and prologue of Letter Starz is true.

Humiliation Conga: In the final chapter of Total Drama Letterz, he is fired by the producer and replaced by Spider and Quana. After that his 102 year old grandmother comes on stage and drags him off by the ear while saying he is grounded for three years and shall be spanked by her cane ... and this was on live international television. However, the epilogue of Letterama and Letter Starz in general seem to imply this was a set up.

Chef Hatchet: The Cook With No Catering Talent.

Even Evil Has Standards: He openly voices when he thinks Chris is going too far and admits he sometimes feels a little guilty about what he does.

Matthew Gregson: The Professional Producer

One of three producers of the Total Drama Franchise.

Knight of Cerebus: His scenes, along with Trina's and Chris', are not played for laughs at all.

Trina Grey: The Charming Producer

One of three producers of the Total Drama Franchise.

Knight of Cerebus: Her scenes, along with Matthew's and Trina's, are not played for laughs, at all.

Contestants debuting in Total Drama Letterz

Andy Takeshi: The Space Fan

Blackmail: Tabitha blackmailed him into keeping quiet about her true nature or she would make Andy's love interest Mable get kicked onto the streets. Andy tried to tell Uzuri about this ... and the results were not pretty.

It turns out that Tabitha was just bluffing and would never have actually gone through with her threat even if she wasn't.

Barney in TDL3, as The Ninja

I be a ninja of the night, ready to be all stealthy and ninja-ey! The pirate schtick was fun, but it's old hat now. Like a wise man once said, growing old is certain, but growing up is optional. That man be my fav hobo.

Reality Ensues: As it turns out, her claiming that trees could talk to her was, in fact, schizophrenia, and now it's really starting to get to her.

Jimmy Coryson: The PollyAnna

Beware the Nice Ones: Kasimar REALLY shouldn't have killed one of Eleanor's ferrets and made her cry. Jimmy switched the votes to get Kasimar voted off which started his humiliation conga and downfall.

Deconstructed in the very next episode. He wonders if he went too far with what he did, and votes himself off as self-penance.

Lavender in TDL3, as the Catty Cheerleader

These last few months have been really hard on me. I'm feeling angry, and I just don't know what to say. Winning this season should help … but you know, I sometimes think his game is more than it seems.

Sanity Slippage: She gets progressively worse throughout the story, up until the point she tried to murder Spider with a pipe due to his hair and came dangerously close to succeeding,

But by Episode 27 of Letterama, her sanity is pretty much gone, and she plans on killing the contestants and interns with a robotic spider...

The Sociopath: She starts out as just a whiny brat, but by the end of her time on the show she has gone past the point of redemption and tries to cripple Spider with a pipe ... because he has bad hair.

Engineered Public Confession: At the final four elimination, Chris showed the voting confessionals of the contestants, hers had her gloating about how easy it was to manipulate everyone and all of the things she was responsible for.

Even Evil Has Standards: While she admits that she's not the nicest girl in the world, even she is horrified by the lengths Kasimar and Nakia will go to win and has repeatedly confessed that she regrets working with them.

Expy: Of Heather.

Freudian Excuse: Her parents taught her bad morals and beat her and hospitalized her every time she failed at something. All these years of abuse made Tabitha become lonely and VERY insecure. Tabitha even admits she was jealous of Uzuri.

The Strategist: Still knows how to play the game, and actively tries to stop herself going too far.

Uzuri Taiver: The Sweet Sadist

Action Survivor: ...Somewhat. While she doesn't get captured due to being in the woods at the time of Tabitha's parent's arrival, she does alert Zita and Wallace of Tabitha's parents, and Wallace helps by sending Rheneas' bike and beam katana by use of an invention Wallace built, to which Rheneas helped save Tabitha and kick Tabitha's dad's butt. Uzuri does give a piece of her own towards Tabitha's dad, however.

Heel–Face Turn: Does one after a guilt trip when one of his inventions nearly kills the campers and interns, with the help of Zita.

Humiliation Conga: In episode ten his team loses because his cheating backfired; he is promptly held down and force fed his own tainted star fruit which makes him puke. At the bonfire ceremony his henchman betrays him and he gets voted off. To add an extra insult to injury he falls flat on his face while walking the dock of shame due to a missing wooden plank that Gary had ripped off earlier in the episode.

Wallace in TDL3, as The BAD GUY

I'm a dick. I'm also dastardly. Thus, cosplaying as Dick Dastardly was only common sense. I may not be "evil," but in this game you can bet I'll be pulling quite a few tricks! Mwahahaha! Man, that laugh feels good!

Crazy-Prepared: After watching Letterz and realizing she would be unable to access her pills during Letterama, she made a video explaining lots of things she was afraid she'd do, clearing up most of the things she did in her past, and showing her face to the online world and submitted it two days before she competed on the show. And, as a result of the bonus chapter, this was clearly a very good decision.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Implied with her parents, if her aftermath interview is anything to go by. Confirmed in the bonus chapter when she finally reunites with them in the therapist's house after two weeks.

Foil: Kim is essentially what happens when you take Tabitha, remove the redeeming qualities she had, take her atrocities Up to Eleven, and make her hate anyone that isn't part of her ethnicity.

Frameup: How she eliminates Yannis the first time, by making the other campers think that he wrote a vicious hate note to Sasha when in fact she was the one responsible.

Freudian Excuse: Apparently everything she does throughout the season is due to severe depression, and it's implied that something happened in her past intense enough to cause it. She also had no pills for the duration of Letterama as a result of her contract, and based on her reactions in the bonus chapter, her pills clearly help her a lot.

Gold Digger: She desires to use Eddie to get her through the game by becoming his girlfriend, and then telling him what she really thought about him at the finals so that she won't have any competition.

Hate Sink: Barney and Yannis both consider her to be worse than Kasimar.

Humiliation Conga: Hoo boy... Upon Yannis's return, he exposed Kim of who she really was, had her Idol switched with the fake one by Lankston, got her plans to burn Sasha exposed to Spider and Quana, getting her disqualified at the Campfire, was forced to beg for the fake idol by acting like a pig, was tossed via the Hurl of Shame... and that was on the Island. Upon her interview, she gets disowned by her parents for the horrible things she had done, and sent to Juvie.

Fortunately, things improve for her as soon as she gets to Juvie in the bonus chapter. It's revealed that she gets a letter from her parents after two days with pictures of good memories she had with them when she was younger, the burned disownment papers, and a heartwarming letter, and after two weeks, she gets put under house arrest to a very kind therapist and reconnects with her parents.

Sasha in TDL3, as The Nervous Gamer

I'm happy to be back ... but also scared. Last season was so tough, and stressful. It's making me expect the worst this time. I'm sure it'll be fun, really, but … if I expect the worst, it can't surprise me.

Broken Bird: Last season took a toll on her, to the point where she isn't quite as bubbly as she used to be.

Zed in TDL3, as The Easy-Going Farm Boy

If you go into this game looking for trouble, you're going to find it. I'm just gonna take it easy and relax my way through. Opal has enough pep for the both of us, I reckon.

Out of Focus: Like VayVay, he isn't too prominent in the plot, due to his early elimination.

The "Kim-Along Gang"

Kim - The Recovering Girl

OK interns, move out and get to it. I'd love to stay around, except not really and I need to take my pill, like, NOW.

Deadpan Snarker: Shows shades of this quite often, especially when presented with the three interns on the roof of the Mess Hall.

Hair-Trigger Temper: Even though she's normally quite loud and angry when she isn't depressed, it gets to this level after Steve reveals he's a member of the FBI.

The Tease: Is still this, as shown by flirting with Steve once, although it isn't shown as much, since she isn't often in a good mood.

What the Hell, Hero?: Didn't take too kindly to Steve actually being a member of the FBI. Nor did she react well to Rheneas pretty soon afterwards, in the middle of her tantrum, and nearly kicked him at full force.

Clyde - The Lazy Chicago Boy

Yeah, I'm glad ta be able ta see da action and da drama, but dis work cuts into my nap time!

Madeline Frost: The Heir

Deadpan Snarker: She makes it quite clear she's not going to put up with Kasimar's bullshit without complaint.

The Red Fang Marauders

Groin Attack: Happens to one member before getting killed by Kasimar. But granted what he was gonna do to Madeline, it was well deserved.

Other Characters

Tabitha's Parents, Gerald and Peyton Barrington

Tabitha's mother and father, who actively encourage her to manipulate her fellow contestants and seriously abuse their daughter.

Abusive Parents: Rather than teach Tabitha to be friendly towards others, they taught her to manipulate others into doing what she wants. It's later revealed that they brutally beat their own daughter for even the slightest failure, and they don't love her at all.

Humiliation Conga: After Tabitha's father's Engineered Public Confession, they end up arrested for their crimes and they lose all their assets … which go to Tabitha, as she's their only living heir, in spite of the fact that they disowned her.

Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Oh boy. As Tabitha's father reveals, they've been hiring hitmen to murder their rivals simply so that their company can rise to the top.

The Sociopath: Implied when Tabitha tells Rheneas about the occasions for which they went out in public.

Ungrateful Bastard: Rather than applaud her for saving two lives, Tabitha's Father decides to disown her and promise revenge.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Taught Tabitha to backstab people when she didn't need them anymore. When they attack the island, Tabitha's Father decides to use his wife as a meat shield once Rheneas begins fighting him.

Jareth

Somebody Chef Hatchet once knew. Who could he be?

The Kidnapper

He or She is holding the frozen and eliminated Eleanor hostage...

Knight of Cerebus: The kidnapping plot is the first real dark plot to affect someone in the competition.

Would Hurt a Child: Is holding Eleanor hostage in the Freeze of Shame, and threatens to kill her if Jimmy doesn't comply to their demands...
